JDK 1.6 downloads don't show build numbers?
Hi,
I couldn't find any build numbers such as "b106" in the download pages nor in the release notes for JDK 1.6. I can only assume that the current build still is "b106" and that any future versionwill show its build number somewhere?
If not, how can I tell whether there is a newer JDK 1.6 build to download in comparison to what I have installed (on Linux)?
Thanks,

Hi,
Build numbers are typical internal build information.When a build is ready
for prime time then it'll be the official bits for the version that it's for. So you
can have b01 through b06 for a particular version of JDK 6. Releases in the
JDK 6 train are update releases and have the naming convention of 6u1,
6u2, etc. Whatever you download from java.sun.com would use these update
release names, and you may be able to see build number when you do
java -fullversion.
Hope this helps.
